Domestic Violence two cases of people I knew murdered...THE VERDICTS are in !!!!

            On September 15, 2014,  Circuit Judge Gary Kramer debunked Circuit Judge Mark Stoll and rejected plea deal for McDonough who killed  his estranged wife Deborah Mcdonough in their home in July 2012. . His plea gave him lesser charge and a lesser sentence. Come to find out his attorney was former prosecuting attorney. So this guy gets  his plea deal reinstated by the new judge  by charging him with 2nd  degree  murder and  sentencing him to 16  years in prison. How can a man who tells the police he hurt his wife real bad. Tells their son she was napping while she laid dead. Police find him hiding in the basement.
      Why would the new  new judge would reinstate his plea deal that the other judge rejected in 
January 2014? Debbies children are  living  with their grandparents doing well despite all they have been through.  But these children are now left motherless and fatherless by circumstance.  Debbie was killed because she wanted sole custody of her children and went to her home alone to pay bills on a business they had. ebbies family is still very devastated over her senseless murder. Please keep her family and children in your prayers.
     
   The case of Hank Hawes in Columbia , South Carolina is getting ready to begin in the murder of Jennifer Wilson. Jennifer was an associate professor at the University South Carolina-Columbia. She just earned her tenure there. She had  won a Fulbright Scholarship and spent a yr abroad. She helped in raising $500,00 for grants for the University her time there. She had a true love for literacy and making sure children learned to read and love it too. She was an avid skier as well. She was bubbly, vibrant and full of life. 
      Hank Hawes was her ex boyfriend. Sometime on the late evening evening hours  of  August 27, 2011 and early hours of August 28,2011 he  had a violent argument with her. The police came and knocked on her door lights out no answer they left.  By the time the police came Jennifer was already stabbed 50 times and Hawes remained hiding in her home til around 8 am. They found enough evidence in his home and car  and Jennifer's home to put him away for life. I hope the judge gives him the maximum sentence he can. Hank Hawes was sentenced to life in Prison. JUSTICE served!!No one else can be hurt by this Animal .  I pray for Jennifer's family and friends. 
   You see you don't have to be married in order to be a part of a domestic violence murder. Women are at a greater risk of being murdered when they get out of  their relationship.  Are  you or someone you know are being abused, Speak Up, don't remain Silent! Dont be ashamed! Its not your fault! Thing s you need when you leave:
